Time - Unknown Daylight

Days past since last - 4 days, I and the others have arrived at the sandbars...

Setting-
Posted Image

"Well what do you know guys? Crossing the grasslands was pretty easy huh?" Zane laughs as his feet splash through the warm tropical sensation the waters gave. He looks back at me and Soren, both of us had bandages and gauze wrapped around us, me on my upper torso and around my right shoulder and left arm, Soren had them around both his arms and his waist. To be frank that travel was not easy. I drop my blood soaked axe and knife into the water while inhaling deeply before turning around just as Paul spoke up.

"You call that easy! We got attacked by freaking wolves twice, we almost got caught in a stampede of bison larger than life, oh and Drake and Fishfreak got wounded ! Nothing about that journey was easy!" Paul gets agitated as he replaces Sorens bandages with new ones. I sit down and gaze at the sunset over the horizon all while thinking to myself.

"Don't worry Walter, I still have the whole group. Wonder how your holding up." The thought runs through my blank mind like a paintbrush scribbling across a canvas. I gaze at my left forearm. Bandages and gauze wrapped up the lower half of my tattoo and wrapped around through my fingerless gloves like a roller coaster. I look at the opening in my jacket, bandages ran all over my right shoulder and upper torso. I could still see the dried blood. Then in an instant the memory of what happened flashed through my empty mind.

"2 days ago....."

I kick a wolf dead in the skull right as it lunges at me knocking it straight into the dirt before stabbing through the back of its neck. I glance over to Soren, Zane and Paul who are fending off 3 wolves circling them. Paul manages to safely keep them at bay with his bamboo staff alone while Zane has to help Soren, who only brought his bow and arrows and a small knife with him. A wolf mock charges at Zane who in retaliation does an overhead swing with his sword and manages to leave a large bloody gash in the wolves right shoulder. The wolf yelps then runs away.

"Zane keep them covered!" I yell over to them before a familiar paranormal voice rang through my mind.

"Turn around...." it whispered faintly.

I pivot around just as a wolf lunges at my throat and brings me to the ground with its jaws snapping. I manage to hold its gaping maw just a few inches from my face as it snaps viciously.

"Drake!" Paul yells smacking a wolf with his staff before he tried to run over to me.

"Stay the fuck back!" I growl at him just as the wolf forces its way through my grip. I jerked my head left to where the beast for a second managed to bite my right shoulder through my jacket. I wince in pain before screaming.

"FUCK!" I yell in anger as I saw the puncture wounds in my right shoulder. I managed to grab the wolf and yank it away before it was able to do serious damage to my shoulder, I could still hold it but with a little less strength. the large black wolf, still on top of me tries to go for my throat as it muscles through my hold again. I plant my feet under its stomach before pushing off the ground and sending the canine flying over my head into the dirt behind me. I roll back onto my feet before picking my axe off the ground as the wolf made another lunge.

"You fucking bastard!" I yell delivering a horizontal swing with my tomahawk catching the wolf in its right eye mid lunge. Blood spews from the gash wound and onto my body as the dog skids a few feet as it hits the ground. It tries to get up but I leap on top of it and begin to rapidly stab it with my knife in the neck and shoulder. Soon the snapping of its jaws and whimpering ceases as the beast dies. I stand over it covered in blood.

"Drake!!" A voice yelled out at me, I spin around holding my shoulder. One weaker female wolf managed to get around Zane and attacked Soren pinning him against a rock as the boy frantically held the snapping dog by the throat just inches from his face. With his strength Soren only could hold that position for maybe a few more seconds. Paul smacks another wolf with his bamboo stick as Zane slashes another in the face with his sword.

"Help him!" Zane yells kicking the same wolf in the face with his foot before driving the blade into its throat. Paul delivers a few more smacks to the other wolf with his bo staff. I drop my weapons and dash towards the wolf attacking Soren as the boy looses his hold by the second. I ram into the female like a train and we both roll around in the grass as I grapple with the wolf. I grab its upper and lower jaws in my hands before prying them in opposite directions. The wolf yelps loudly as I rip its jaws apart like a merciless savage. The black female suddenly stops moving and lies dead in the blood drenched grass. I glance at my hands, both cut up from running them through the wolves teeth. Soon I faint and everything goes black....

Back in the present......

"Drake!" Zane yells snapping me out of my flashback sequence. I hurridly stagger to my feet.

"What is it?" I ask as the sky darkens into night. Zane shuffles his feet as he points towards the sandbars.

"Should we keep walking to the island or set up camp for tonight?" He finishes waiting for my reply. I think for a moment and then reply.

"Keep walking, at least for a little bit more, I doubt we have to worry about another animal attack way out in the sandbars." I finish picking up my tomahawk and knife and strapping them back on to my chest and bag.

"What about sandbar sharks?" Paul speaks out of nowhere as he and Soren walk over to us and begin to wrap me up in new bandages as well.

"Damn Paul how much gauze and bandages and shit did you bring?" I ask him surprised. He laughs and answers back.

"I brought enough." And with that he finishes wrapping me up. I toss my hood off then run my hands through my curly hair before throwing my hood back on. The sky got darker and darker and the air got a little cooler.

"Well lets go. Better now than never." I laugh as I lead the group into the sandy waters and onto the sandbars. I am suddenly stopped by Soren

"Drake you never answered Pauls question. What about sandbar sharks?" He laughs sarcastically. I chuckle and turn around walking backwards.

"What about em?" I reply making a face at Soren before walking straight again. It would be at least another day before we reached the Island I assumed in my head. As we walked I couldn't help but wonder what that voice was that told me to turn around in my head was. But I never thought too much about it.

Our feet slosh and distort the muddy waters as mud and grovel stick to the bottoms of our feet. I walk in the front as the lead followed in order by Soren, Paul, And lastly Zane. We walk in a straight line towards the islands without saying much to each other.

"Gonna be a long walk..." I mumble under my breath.


To be continued......

Uhhhh not sure how crazy I am about fighting and killing so many animals. They're not zombies, they may be predators but when wolves start to get killed they'll back off...

I made one run away, Zane slashed one causing it to retreat and Paul didnt kill any. One could infer they were starving since they kept attacking. I don't see how I enacted slaughter?

Yeah, and you got to remember while they aren't full fledged dire wolves, these boys are probably the most BA dogs on the planet in the SIS universe. They take on giant bison and have no fear of people after all. Two or three out of a pack getting killed doesn't sound to bad, and wolves are tenacious, just ask any caribou that's been running from them for twenty minutes straight. :O
